Jimmy Kimmel trolls Ramaswamy for kissing Trump’s ‘orange a**’

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel trolled Vivek Ramaswamy during his show on Tuesday night for kissing Donald Trump’s “orange ass”.

Shortly after coming fourth place in the Iowa caucuses on Monday, Mr Ramaswamy announced that he was officially retiring his presidential run and backing Donald Trump for president.

“We did not achieve the surprise that we wanted to deliver tonight… as of this moment we are going to suspend this presidential campaign,” he told his supporters.

“There’s no path for me to be the next president absent things that we don’t want to see happen in this country,” he added.

“As I’ve said since the beginning, there are two America First candidates in this race and I called Donald Trump to tell him that. I congratulated him on his victory and now going forward he will have my full endorsement for the presidency, and I think we’re gonna do the right thing for this country,” he said.

Mr Ramaswamy has spent much of his presidential campaign praising the former president, describing him as “the best president of the 21st century”.

Following his loss in Iowa, the 39-year-old entrepreneur said he called Mr Trump, who won 51 per cent of the vote, to congratulate him on his win.

“Even though he was running against Trump, he never missed an opportunity to plant one on his big orange ass,” said Mr Kimmel.

“And that call went straight to voicemail,” Mr Kimmel joked. “He’s never going to hook up with you, dude. It’s just not gonna happen.”
